Staniel Cay

Here are some pictures of Staniel Cay. The movies "Splash" and "Thunderball" were filmed here.

Local grocery store.


The coconut (and regular) bread place.


The pigs on the island come running out to get fed when you land.


A local catch of fish, conch and crab.



They clean alot of conch around here.



This is the smallest and only liquor store and it is in the Yacht Club.

The locals cleaning their catch.

And the sharks did come.


Pizza, movie and happy hour nite at Club Thunderball.


This is the cave used in the James Bond movie "Thunderball".


The entrance to Thunderball cave.
We went snorkling in the cave at low slack tide. It was very nice and we also fed the fish while in it. They prefer peas or corn but we gave them crackers and bits of bread.

HI guys,
sorry we dont seem to have our phone on when you call. hopefully you get the messages when we call back.

we are having too much fun in ocean springs! we spent two nights at a casino with a huge jacuzzi hot tub. we are going to go to a different casino in couple of days. friend of ours give us coupons for free two nights stays at casinos.

i'm putting up solar panels on our boat and putting in a new refrigeration system. we bought another little air conditioner - its hot here. how's the heat where you are? is it ok as long as you are anchored out.

when are you guys coming back? we'll have to meet up when you get back. pam and i are really proud of you guys. we are pretty lazy sailors, but we are having a good time. we are excited to hear all your stories.

take care
steve & pam
